Donate Books, Inspire Minds

Help me give my students with engaging books to inspire a love of reading. These books will create a shared literary experience and foster a positive reading culture in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Virtucio's classroom raised $165

This project is fully funded

My Project

I absolutely love how curious and eager to learn my students are. My students are curious, eager learners who come from diverse backgrounds, making our classroom a vibrant place. I love how they support and encourage each other, always pushing to do their best despite challenges.

The books I’m requesting will spark their imagination, strengthen their reading skills, and broaden their perspectives.

My goal is to create a classroom library that fosters a lifelong love of reading and helps them connect with new ideas and diverse voices. These resources will empower my students and support their academic and personal growth.
